Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
How often do we find ourselves in a situation where we are anxious? Something is coming up and we have planned and planned. We think we have gotten everything that needs doing done. Maybe it is a wedding or a family event. Perhaps a big purchase of a new car or a home. We made a list and did everything on it but we are anxious. What have we forgotten? What if...
The word speaks to us about leaning to our own understanding. And here we are doing just that. We did all the planning ourself. We put all on our own shoulders. Did we do right? That troubles us.
We have not learned to trust Holy Spirit. He will not do things for us. The ultimate decisions in life are ours to make. However, when we lean on Him and let Him guide us, the decisions are easier to make and the direction is true. For the path of the righteous is ordered by the Lord. As we give our challenges to God and trust He will guide us in the right direction anxiousness fades away and each day is filled with peace.
